Soldiers of the Milky Way,
Disturbing reports from the Citadel suggest that something big is about to go down. If our Intel is accurate, Aria is on the move. This was anticipated, as we did not expect her to sit idly by while Cerberus ran roughshod over Omega. With her biotic capabilities and well-documented mean streak, what happens next won’t be pretty.
Our informants believe that Aria intends to seek out Commander Shepard for assistance. We are aware of the Commander’s ties to Aria, but are unclear about how deep they run. What we do know is that Aria will be relentless in her fight to take back Omega, and with the Commander at her side, she may very well be unstoppable.
We will be observing this situation closely as it develops. Continue to monitor this channel for further communication.The war for Omega begins—How far will you go to end it?Mass Effect 3: Omega (Single-player DLC) – Coming November 27th to PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 (November 28th to PS3 in Europe).$14.99, 1200 MS/BW Points

I really do not want to bea mean (but I will be).
But… will it really matter? I mean we all know how it all ends and how RGB ending system works. I dunno how it would change an awful taste in my mouth after finishing this trilogy. Ofc there was a feeling in main installment that Aria is somewhat cutted - you finished gathering a war asset with her and there was no purpose of talking with her anymore. So, yes, maybe it will have a quality of LotSB but.. who cares anyway xD (this is another fail of their "artistic" conclusion).

… Which sounds like a good excuse to mow down everything that faces Shepherd … Mass killing ahead !

Exactly, so what's up with the negative? If you enjoy Mass Effect and its universe, who cares about the ending. The ending was satisfying to me, probably because I don't care so much that my choices in the games meant little in the end.

I'd like to play this DLC at some point… if I ever get my Xbox fixed.

Yes we know you love it. You made multiple threads saying so. I agree the extended cut was satisfying but the original was shit.

I respect an opinion of some guys that it was all okay. But for some ME (at least the first) was about the great story and logic within it, which made it so believable universe. ME3 conclusion was a deny (for me) of this logic, therefore I AM UNDER A BIG RAAAGE. - won't complain any longer, promise x)

I had enough of ME series. I've been playing ME3 for about 3-4hours now and I'm sick of it. Control is garbage (at least for PC) - space bar is solution to everything, yo. My Fem Shem is ugly, it's trying to be too emotional (Did I mention I hate kids? Especially the star child), I'm hating all new NPCs (Bega, Traynor and Diana? Whatever their names are) and I'm stuck with Kaidan who keeps on asking if my Fem Shep is really Fem Shep and not some Cerberus robot/VI/whatever)… EDI just got her new body and I will see if she turns out to be good. Garrus is Garrus, the only NPC I like so far. I don't know, it just isn't fun at all at the moment.

Agree there are no revolutionary changes over ME2. Except that the hope is gone. When playing previous ME games I was always wondering what effect my action would have on the story. Now I know it has none (aside from trivial cosmetics) and that there is no way to play it to get an outcome that's not 'that ending', so it de-evolves to shooting with dialog.

The main change is the reduced freedom - everything is cutscene driven and there are so few opportunities for you to just get out and about and do your own thing.

I can see no reasons for a replay of something that's gone down this path, especially if like me - you have a steam library whose shelves are heaving with unplayed stuff.

I stopped playing ME3 (which I picked up on sale) quite far in - but it was just combat after combat with some filler cinematic. And that crappy sticky spacebar that messed up combat for me. I just became tired. I may go back to it one day, if I'm really out of options. Busy with IWD1 again after about 2 years and loving it ;-) The thought of a new DLC for ME3 makes me feel like new DLC for Skyrim - 'whateva'. I want expansions - complete, new and engrossing story/settings with complexity - not some filler mission to close off a loose end.

ME3 was a pretty darn good ending to a pretty darn good 3rd-person-shooter/RPG series. They may not be the greatest RPGs ever, but the Mass Effect trilogy as a whole still constitutes a rather impressive feat. Haters gonna hate, etc.

That said, I'm not terribly interested in these DLC packs about Shepard doing various tasks, helping people, and preparing to fight the Reapers. Not enough to pay money for them. BioWare need to make some DLC that explores other aspects of the universe and story. An Omega DLC pack where you play as Garrus fighting criminals as Archangel, for instance, would have piqued my interest a whole lot more than one where Shepard goes to there to shoot yet more Cerberus dudes.

Well put and I can agree mostly.
Shepards story is finished in a very definitive way, I find it very hard to work up some enthusiasm for an extra chapter to a concluded story.

They should use the well crafted universe and lore to tell other stories in it.
